“Hopefully, I will look back at the end of the season with a smile on my face and say that was a vital three points and a great save."
His stop from Cesar Azpilicueta was more than simply a ‘great save’ and, hopefully, Jordan Pickford can now appreciate its importance. As he scrambled across the goalmouth in front of the Park End his feet were working in overtime, but so was his brain as the ball fell into the path of the Chelsea defender.
“I have had to just readjust at that last second to make that save because I knew if I went that way - where you would have thought I might have went - I knew I would have been dead in the water really. I think it would have been a goal because it would have been quite hard to stop my momentum but I have used my footwork to change my momentum to make that save."
